I was just sketching an idea in Photoshop for my boyfriend. I had no idea the publisher would actually *use* this on the book. Note that this is at approximately true resolution: it was never intended for print, and everything is pixellated, full of JPEG artifacts, and verrie nastie. Gaah!
Slanted Magazine #42—Books is a magazine about books. Every day, people ponder whether the future of the (printed) book is tied to its sensual quality. How can beautiful books secure their place in the media and society? How are content, medium, and form interconnected? Is manufacturing and design quality, in addition to its functionality, simply to be understood as a marketing argument?
In this edition, Slanted Publishers delves deeper into books that are pushing boundaries, moving beyond traditional norms, and rediscovering their essence. The belief is that genuine reading encompasses more than mere skimming; it involves understanding, grasping, and engaging in creative thinking. The value placed on the tactile experience of holding a book, flipping through its pages, setting it aside, and seamlessly resuming the reading is immense. It’s an experience cherished by many, one that defines the true essence of books.
Slanted Publishers emphasizes the resurgence of book reading as a significant trend, especially for those seeking enduring experiences and embracing multi-dimensional thinking. This edition showcases books that venture off the beaten path, departing from traditional conventions, and advocates for timeless book designs where the content shapes the form.
To commemorate the magazine’s release, Slanted Publishers has introduced a limited special edition, which includes a set of pencils from Viarco, the oldest pencil factory in Portugal. Make a statement with this and become part of the BK LVRS!

I'm an avid fan of Lenny Bruce. The man truly understood the power of words. That is why when redesigning How to Talk Dirty and Influence People, I chose to create a type portrait of Lenny made of some of his famous quotes and quotes about him.
'The Wish Post' 148 pg book documenting a collection of work by textiles artist Mister Finch.
I designed and layed out the book; It was about 6 weeks solid work, going through 1000+ photos and using a bit of digital magic to bring things to life, designing the typography and textures, and little bits of tape and scribbles, to give it all the proper Mister Finch feel.
